A key molecular step required for the division of damaged mitochondria—essential for cell health—has been identified by a University of Bristol-led study. The finding has the potential to establish ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

A research team led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in ...
